These events are primarily based at the state-of-the-art Sport Ireland Campus in Dublin in addition to other suitable venues nationwide.

To support the events judging/assessor programme we have developed a live scoring system. This bespoke system operates on SQL with a web browser frontend; we are also in the process of seeking to update the system to make it as user friendly as possible for both operation and end users.

GI is looking for suitably qualified & experienced individual(s) to maintain & operate our score system. We are willing to consider several approaches to this including individual contractors, self-employed IT professionals, service providers companies or possible PT employment to resource our need.
